I have been considering getting some Sparco Fighters for my car, and can't make up my mind on which color to get. I have always wanted red seats in a vehicle since I can remember, but the black ones will definitely go with my interior no questions asked.

What do you guys think?

Here are some examples of the seats.

 

What's wrong with the Recaros; too easy to get in and out of?

FWIW, I'd choose black.

 

I had the red fighters for my 350z. They look really good n eye catcher. They were just a pain to get out of. Well for my parents that is. Seats keep you in lock though. Id go with black

 

Did you buy an Evo with an automatic due to your parents, too?

 

with the fact that you have a black car, and as you said it would match the interior, go with black

 

I don't understand, recaros were too hard for your parents to get out of so you are buying seats with even bigger bolsters...

lol

 

i had these in my IX. They are very comfy , but the stock seats are much better. I find things which are bothered me personally. for DD they will be out of shape in no time. The Rubber part on the seats will have a hole fast, those little pillows would be always a problem to readjust them after couple of in and out etc.
Generally bucket seats are a no-no for DD car. Also you will probably have a problem with a seat brackets. The sliding ones was a pain to put them in etc. If you do not race the car, stay with a stock seats, they are racy enough.


dont mind the color , it is a bad camera, they are pitch black .

 

Are they FIA or NTSA (or whatever the street legal rating is called) rated? And do they have holes for sub belts? They don't look like they have holes.

As Robevo sort of said, fixed back seats are generally a no-no for non-caged cars. And honestly I don't see the point in getting fixies if they don't have holes for sub belts as I would never use a 4 pt, even the anti sub ones.

But in the end, get what you want. The red ones would look good especially if you found a couple small other items to do in red to create a bit of a theme.

 

Well part of the plan was to shed some extra weight. These are ~60lbs lighter than stock. I would like to track the car, but it probably wouldn't happen too often.

Thanks for the inputs.

 

I would go black

 

60 lbs lighter? That would mean each seat weighs 2lbs each. Nrg seats are 40 lbs lighter and the nrg seat weighs 12 lbs.

 

Oops. You have a X. So maybe they are. I saw the EVO 8 pic and ASSumed

 

The Sparco Fighter is a pretty nice seat, but I'd spend the money on something else honestly. You could do some brake upgrades for the price of the seats.

I voted black, since that's what the thread is about. If you end up going with the seats (or anything else, really) please PM me. I'd like to see what I can do to earn your business.
